I feel bad for leaning towards ''no'', because I was a big fan of Elliot in St. Louis and was genuinely excited we got him. I thought for sure our goaltending issues were a thing of the past. If anything it just shows have good you have to be to be a legit starting goalie in the NHL. Probably the hardest job in all of sports.
But it's really hard to bring him back in anything less then a backup role, but I doubt he wants that. So really unless he pulls a Johnson and is able to somewhat carry us into the post season in the 2nd half, BT has no choice but to look elsewhere. I hate to think that,because l think Elliott is better then what he's shown. But as someone said earlier, it's a result oriented business and the fact is unless Elliott goes on a tear the 2nd half, he hasn't got us the desired results.
